(cf. p. 197). The permanent and temporary meat-stores 116 were 

 large and well-built. Some of the permanent depots were built up 

 along a small cliff to the east of the shore. 



One of the higher-lying permanent meat-depots (117) was measured 

 (118; fig. 8). It was 055 M. by 045 M. and 055 M. deep. The solid 

 rock had been used in its formation and it had the appearance 

 almost of a square hole. The meat-depot was open and the covering 

 stone removed (rolled down). 



Along the east side of a natural wall in the cliff we found a

 stone 045 M. high at some distance from the rock. From this stone 

 there were stone-pillars reaching obliquely over towards the vertical 

 wall of the cliff. Two of these pillars were still standing, whilst 

 others were lying down. The pillars alone have not been sufficient 

 to shelter the room, so that they must only be regarded as the 

 skeleton for a lean-toroof. Skins have possibly been used as final 

 covering. If there has been any door opening, it has been directed 

 towards the south. The floorplace was 190 M. long in north — 

 south and 095 M. broad in east to west direction at the broadest
